Tropical forests can strengthen green bond market

May 24, 2018

In a report, Sustainable Land Bonds, the organisation says that tapping mainstream financial markets can provide incentives that allow tropical forest countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop environmental infrastructure, as well as encouraging sustainable rural agricultural production.
